Summary: The Madras High Court has directed a quick decision on K. Clastin David's request to stop the Tambaram Corporation from possibly locking and sealing his property.

Background of the Case

K. Clastin David asked the Madras High Court to issue an order that would prevent the Tambaram Corporation from locking and sealing his property. This was based on a notice they sent on July 14, 2025.

The Court's Decision

Chief Justice Manindra Mohan Shrivastava and Justice Sunder Mohan handled the case. They pointed out that the request to pause the lock and seal process, submitted on July 28, 2025, was still waiting for a decision. This delay was causing K. Clastin David to worry about his property being sealed.

"The petitioner shall appear in the office of the revisional authority on 25.08.2025 and within five days from the date of appearance of the petitioner, the application for stay shall be decided and orders be passed."

This means that K. Clastin David must go to the revisional authority's office on August 25, 2025. The authority has five days from that date to decide on his request to pause the lock and seal process.

No Costs Ordered

The court decided that neither side has to pay the other's legal fees.

Quick Action Required

The court stressed the need for a fast decision, showing how important it is to resolve legal matters quickly, especially when they involve someone's property.
